Only one month left to see at KM21: Rosalind Nashashibi - Stones

Rosalind Nashashibi creates films and paintings that cloak everyday observations in mythology. From a personal perspective, the Palestinian British artist explores collective histories, power structures and ways of living together. Her recent paintings contain visual references to art history but also allude to the lived reality of the Palestinian people. The heart of the exhibition is the film Electrical Gaza (2015), which Nashashibi shot in the Gaza strip in 2014.

On view until May 17th.

Rosalind Nashashibi’s work explores collective history, power structures, and modes of coexistence. Nashashibi captures everyday intimate moments in a highly personal way.

As described by the Financial Times, the settings in her paintings are often only hinted at, becoming explicit through their titles. In ‘Palestine, c.1950’, two women stand in darkness, gazing at a much brighter figure wearing a thobe, a traditional form of Palestinian dress.

The exhibition is on view until 17 May 2026 at KM21.

Rosalind Nashashibi’s paintings in the exhibition Stones have a lush and surreal appearance. They incorporate motifs from art history – such as swans, crosses and flowers – and from the grim political landscape in Palestine, including hands holding stones.

Alongside these motifs, the text “UNRWA” appears in two works - referencing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency set up in 1949 for Palestine refugees. A powerful reminder of the people who were forced to leave their homes.

The exhibition is on view until 17 May 2026 at KM21.

Rosalind Nashashibi’s exhibition Stones is structured around the work Electrical Gaza (2015).

This film, recorded in 2014, shows Gaza as if under enchantment, caught between reality and a magical version of itself. Resisting the usual depictions of Gaza as a disaster zone, Nashashibi focuses on expressing what she experienced. Today, this in-between state has been bitterly overtaken by reality. Much of what we see in the film – from buildings to human lives – has been destroyed, displaced or killed. This gives the work new potential meanings: as a testimony, an archive or a monument of mourning.

Join us on Sunday 8 March for the screening of Denim Sky by Rosalind Nashashibi!

This weekend, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Fotomuseum Den Haag and KM21 celebrate International Women’s Day with a special programme on the female perspective in art.

Denim Sky is a feature film in three parts. Together the trilogy is a playful exploration of non-nuclear family and community structures, the theoretical effects of non-linear time travel on human relationships, and how this could aid or problematise communication.

The narrative is based on a fiction about a spaceship crew brought together in order to develop a crew mentality, so that they can be used to test a new form of space travel that uses non-linear time. Throughout, the light humour and fraternal mood of the group are disrupted by unsettling and unexpected events.
